Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to the thermal Integration of a lignite drying process within a coal power plant having a water / steam power cycle.
- Such power plants may include CO2 capture units.
- lignite drying in a lignite fired plant involves using either hot flue gas extraction and/or steam extraction from the water/steam cycle to supply thermal energy to the lignite drying systems comprising beater mills, rotary drum dryer or fluidized bed dryers.
- So called beater mills technology uses hot flue gas extracted from the top of the furnace and then recirculates this extraction in the mill in order to evaporate the high amount of lignite moisture, which can be up to 60% of lignite content for "B" grade lignites. Drying is an important step as it enables pulverization of lignite necessary for combustion. A problem of such systems is that it results in a very high efficiency penalty due to the need for very high enthalpy heat from the boiler for the drying process. The high heat requirement results in high boiler losses due to the loss of residual sensible heat from the large flue gas flow and zero recovery of the latent heat of removed moisture from the lignite.
- lignite pre-drying techniques have been developed using medium or low enthalpy heat to achieve partial or high level of lignite pre-drying before pulverization.
- the techniques can provide efficiency gains of up to 3% points without heat recovery of evaporation vapour of lignite moisture or 5% point with heat recovery of evaporation vapour of lignite moisture.
- German patent DE 195 18 644 C2 provides a solution utilising so called Waste Heat Utilisation (WTA) type 1 and 2 processes in order to pre-drying lignite.
- WTA Waste Heat Utilisation
- the WTA type I process includes a direct heat pump loop with a vapour compressor that utilises the moisture vapour as drying heat. After de-dusting to remove lignite particles, the vapour is compressed with a vapour-compressor and sent in the heat exchanger of the dryer. Remaining heat of the drying vapour condensates exiting the dryer heat exchanger can be integrated in the low pressure condensate heaters of a water steam cycle of a typical steam power plant. The process does not require any steam extraction from the water/ steam cycle and may be operated independently from the power plant.
- the alternate WTA type 2 process includes a steam extraction from water/ steam cycle of a typical steam power plant for the drying heat source. This process is much simpler and cheaper than WTA type 1, however, optimisation of the location of steam extraction varies with plant load and as such may lead to lower net plant efficiency that the type 1 system if no or limited heat recovery from drying vapour occurs.
- a further problem can be that the maximization of the heat recovery from drying vapours for plant performance improvement, together with the cleaning of this vapour, for environmental reasons, may require cleaning of the dirty vapour by condensation in order to avoid release of pollutants which would otherwise occur if released directly in the atmosphere in the vapour state.
- CN 101881191A is relevant as background prior art for the current invention.

- the system is such that the risk of fouling, corrosion or erosion of the heat pumps compressors of some prior art system is avoided.

Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a lignite fired steam power plant for drying pulverised lignite utilising an indirect heat pump process. In its simplest form the system comprises a dryer system, a heat recovery system for recovering thermal energy from a vapour exhaust of thedryer 10 and a water / steam power cycle for at least partially receiving recovered thermal energy from the heat recovery system. The water / steam power cycle may additionally provide thermal energy in the form of extraction steam as an energy source for thedryer 10. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 1-3 the drying system includes aninlet line 11 to direct lignite into thedryer 10, adryer heat exchanger 13 for evaporator drying of the lignite, avapour outlet line 16 for exhausting moisture laden gas from thedryer 10 and asolids outlet line 12 for discharging dried lignite for use in a combustor. Thedryer 10 can be a steam fluidized bed dryer or a steam heated rotary tube dryer and may typically operate at or close to atmospheric pressure. - In an exemplary embodiment vapour in the
vapour outlet line 16 is first de-dusted in a particle removal system, such as a cyclone, electrostatic precipitator, fabric filter or any combination of a cyclone, electrostatic precipitator, fabric filter cycle, when lignite particles removed from the particle removal system are returned to thedryer 10 or thesolids outlet line 12. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 1-3 the water/steam power cycle includes a pressure series ofsteam turbines 35. Acondenser 38, configured and arranged to condense steam exhausted from the pressure series ofsteam turbines 35, is located at a low pressure end of pressure series ofsteam turbines 35. Condensed steam from thecondenser 38 is then directed through afirst condensate line 59 that includes a low pressurecondensate preheat system 40 having one or more preheaters, - In an exemplary embodiment applicable to an atmospheric or low pressure dryer, the water / steam power cycle is connected to the
dryer heat exchanger 13 by extraction steam provide at about 3-4 Bara and by a condensate return that returns condensate to the low pressurecondensate preheat system 40. In this arrangement steam is condensed within thedryer 10 in thedryer heat exchanger 13 causing evaporation of wet lignite moisture, thus producing the vapour that is exhausted from thedryer 10 by avapour outlet line 16. As required extraction steam may be de-superheated before entering thedryer heat exchanger 13. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 1 , the heat recovery system for recovery includes athird condensate line 79, acondensate evaporator 83, afirst compressor 85, afirst heater 71, and asecond condensate line 70. - The
second condensate line 70 extends from thecondenser 38 to the low pressurecondensate preheat system 40 so as to bypass at least a portion of the low pressurecondensate preheat system 40. - The
condensate evaporator 83 is fluidly connected to thevapour outlet line 16 and thethird condensate line 79 so as to enable evaporation of condensate in thethird condensate line 79 against condensing vapour in thevapour outlet line 16. In thethird condensate line 79 downstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 is thefirst compressor 85, which is adapted to compress evaporated condensate from thecondensate evaporator 83 to typically between 3-4 Bara. After compression of evaporated condensate, the evaporated condensate is desuperheated and condensed in thefirst heater 71 located in thethird condensate line 79 downstream of thefirst compressor 85. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Figs. 1 thefirst heater 71 is located in thethird condensate line 79 and the now condensed evaporated condensate in thethird condensate line 79 re-joins thefirst condensate line 59 either directly or via thesecond condensate line 70. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in

third condensate line 79 includes a condensate pump at an upstream end to extract, boost and/ or control condensate flow, as well as a control valve in the liquid flowing portion of the line, to modulate the flow-rate and control the pressure through the third condensate line 79.As the pressure requirements of thefirst condensate line 59 andsecond condensate line 70 may be different to that of thethird condensate line 79, the condensate pump of thethird condensate line 79 may be different to the condensate pump of thesecond condensate line 70. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 1 the lignite fired steam power plant further comprises asecond heater 72 located in thesecond condensate line 70, upstream of thefirst heater 71, and connected to afirst branch 31 of thevapour outlet line 16 wherein the first branch branches from thevapour outlet line 16 at a point upstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 so as to enable energy transfer from the first branch to thesecond condensate line 70 in thesecond heater 72. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 2 , in addition to thesecond heater 72 and thefirst heater 71, thesecond condensate line 70 includes athird heater 73 in thesecond condensate line 70 downstream of thefirst heater 71 as well as asecond compressor 95. Thesecond compressor 95, is located in the heat recovery system and is connected to thethird condensate line 79, at an upstream end, fluidly between thefirst compressor 85 and thefirst heater 71, and at a downstream end, to thethird heater 73 so as to enable heating of a condensate in thesecond condensate line 70 with an exhaust from thesecond compressor 95. - In an exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 3a the heat recovery system for recovery includes athird condensate line 79, acondensate evaporator 83, and afirst compressor 85, afirst heater 71, asecond heater 72 and asecond condensate line 70. - The
second condensate line 70 extends from thecondenser 38 to the low pressurecondensate preheat system 40 so as to bypass at least a portion of the low pressurecondensate preheat system 40. - The
condensate evaporator 83 is fluidly connected to thevapour outlet line 16 and thethird condensate line 79 so as to enable evaporation of condensate in thethird condensate line 79 against condensing vapour in thevapour outlet line 16. In thethird condensate line 79 downstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 is thefirst compressor 85, which is adapted to compress evaporated condensate from thecondensate evaporator 83 to typically between 3-4 Bara. After compression of evaporated condensate, the evaporated condensate is desuperheated and condensed in thefirst heater 71 located in thethird condensate line 79 downstream of thefirst compressor 85. - The
first heater 71 is located in thethird condensate line 79 and the now condensed evaporated condensate in thethird condensate line 79 re-joins thefirst condensate line 59 either directly or via thesecond condensate line 70. - The
second heater 72 is located in thesecond condensate line 70, upstream of thefirst heater 71, and connected to afirst branch 31 of thevapour outlet line 16 wherein the first branch branches from thevapour outlet line 16 at a point upstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 so as to enable energy transfer from the first branch to thesecond condensate line 70 in thesecond heater 72. - The exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 3a further includes asecond branch 32 of thevapour outlet line 16 that branches from thevapour outlet line 16 upstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 as well as a first combustionair heat exchanger 36, connected to thesecond branch 32 so as to enable heating of a combustion air located in the first combustionair heat exchanger 36 that is used for combustion of lignite using a vapour of thesecond branch 32 - An alternate exemplary embodiment, shown in
Fig. 3b further includes a second combustionair heat exchanger 37 connected to thethird condensate line 79 at a point between thefirst compressor 85 and thefirst heater 71 so as to enable heating of a combustion air in the second combustionair heat exchanger 37 using an evaporated condensate from thefirst compressor 85. In this alternate exemplary embodiment, condensed evaporator condensate from the second combustionair heat exchanger 37 is returned to thesecond condensate line 70. Additionally, the first combustionair heat exchanger 36 preheat combustion air before the second combustionair heat exchanger 37 using condensed vapour of thevapour outlet line 16 from thesecond heater 72. - In a further alternative to the exemplary embodiment shown in
Fig. 3b ,Fig. 3c shows an exemplary embodiment that does not include afirst heater 71, but instead all compressed evaporated condensate from thefirst compressor 85 flow through the second combustionair heat exchanger 37 while asecond branch 32 of thevapour outlet line 16 that branches from thevapour outlet line 16 upstream of thecondensate evaporator 83 provides thermal energy to a first combustionair heat exchanger 36 that preheat combustion air upstream of the second combustionair heat exchanger 37. - Although the disclosure has been herein shown and described in what is conceived to be the most practical exemplary embodiment, the present disclosure can be embodied in other specific forms. For example, while exemplary embodiments that included a combustion air heat exchangers (36, 37) connected to condensate or vapour lines, the connection may be by physical connection wherein the condensate or vapour lines pass through the combustion air heat exchangers (36, 37) or else by thermal means by, for example, an intermediate thermal loop. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restricted. The scope of the disclosure is indicated by the appended claims rather that the foregoing description and all changes that come within the meaning and range and equivalences thereof are intended to be embraced therein.
